Dear Sampath,

Please note that we do not store card details on our servers.

BUT gorecharge is a FRAUD. Everytime I try to recharge with my SCB card, transaction fails.(m experiencing this for last 4 months. Even today it failed). So this is what happens..
1) Gorecharge gives u an offer of 5% cashback
2) U try to recharge
3) Recharge fails
4) Money is debited from ur account (as u use debit card for availing offer)
5) Money is no doubt refunded, but after 14 days. In short, go recharge uses ur money for 14 days free of charge. Great way to do business!!

Note: I used standardchartered Debit card to do recharge of 340 on Uninor (Maharashtra).
